Could they now do away with Pataki’s law that automatically takes 10% from the top of all court settlement accident cases, or other sums of money received by people who have received Medicaid in the past?
The little bit of extra cash comes in handy for people who have been forced to stretch a dollar until it shreds.
None of these settlements are large enough to induce a luxurious way of living for the rest of one’s life.
As an intake worker for the Social Security Administration told me a few years ago regarding a possible settlement of a social security claim, “They’ll only take all of that away from you!”
